Practice & Procedure In The Court Of Protection

Lifting the lid on the Court of Protection

Introduction

Due to the private nature of cases in the Court of Protection, the reasoning of the court is often not made available to the public. This has led to it having a reputation as being faceless and secretive. However, as the court hears more than 23,000 diverse cases a year it is an area that practitioners need to keep abreast of, with an increasing body of case law relating to both welfare and financial issues.

This comprehensively revised conference chaired by Alison Ball QC, 1 Garden Court, will reveal one of the most hidden corners of the British justice system. Join our expert speaker panel who will guide you through the current and forthcoming changes, enabling you to answer the following questions: What is the law regarding Deprivation of Liberty safeguards after Mig v Meg?

  • What are the circumstances in which the Court will depart from the general costs rules?
  • How does the MCA and MHA relate in practice?
  • What are the current issues surrounding deputyship?
  • How to resolve cases regarding lack of capacity and marriage?
